1492.0. "secondary ring status" by PRSSUD::AMOUYAL () Wed Nov 09 1994 10:49


In a normal situation, i.e. when we use the primary ring, how can we have 
information about secondary ring especially about port A status.
For example, what's happen if there is a problem on port A when it is in backup
state and when we switch to it after a primary ring failure ?



					Thanks,

    It sounds as though you are referring to a dual homed configuration of
    a dual attached station. In that case, the A port continuously runs
    the connection management sequence, with a Link Confidence test time
    of 50 seconds. If it detects any failures it will disable the port, 
    and not fault over to it.
